Home Box Office (HBO) India labelled the Brahma Kumaris a Cult to send a shiver down your spine in an embarrassing post they later removed. The post was meant for the promotion of the upcoming premiere of the 2019 film Doctor Sleep on the channel. Interest litmus test on the general public's opinion of the BKs.
The posts received heavy criticism on social media platforms with the BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra, a conservative political party the BKs have long sucked up to, supporting them. Others taking the opportunity to attack the Judeo-Christian tradition.
Sort of apt. Dr Sleep is a movie about a cult of soul suckers trying to live forever by feeding off and draining the lifeforce out of "special" individuals they attract and turning their victims into one of them.
“From Aghori Babas to Brahma Kumaris, which Indian cult sends a chill down your spine?”

Good to see you taken @HBOINDIA on. They have taken it down just to modify it and tweet again.
Everyone knows the most barbaric of all the cult is the Abrahamic cult. They are only competing amongst themselves.
Don’t try to project them as Indian Cult.
